'Naked Carpenter' Sentenced to 30 Years for Attempted Murder of Police Officer
February 5, 2025
Just two days prior to the incident, Jenner had been released from prison after serving time for violating a court order related to his clothing.
PC Quinn sustained severe injuries to his head, face, neck, and limbs before his colleagues intervened to assist him.
Robert Jenner, a 50-year-old naturist known as the 'Naked Carpenter', was convicted of attempted murder for stabbing Police Constable Sean Quinn 23 times with scissors.
Kent Police characterized the attack as a 'sustained and savage' act against a frontline officer, highlighting the dangers police face in their duties.
When police arrived at his flat, Jenner was naked and had barricaded himself inside, refusing to allow officers entry.
The violent assault took place at Jenner's flat in Maidstone, Kent, after police responded to reports of indecent exposure.
Upon arrival, PC Quinn pursued Jenner into a dark room, where he was immediately attacked with scissors.
In December 2024, a jury convicted Jenner of attempted murder, with the trial featuring body-worn footage that captured the brutal attack.
Jenner did not attend his trial or provide evidence, and he denied the charges of attempted murder and wounding with intent.
On February 4, 2025, Jenner was sentenced to 30 years in prison, deemed 'dangerous' and required to serve at least two-thirds of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
Following his release, Jenner will also face an extended license period of five years.
